Vet expenses aren't exactly cheap. While the average cost for euthanization and cremation of a dog ranges between $150 to $300, you can still expect a vet to charge anywhere from $50 to $300 and up for euthanization alone.

This will vary widely depending upon the veterinary clinic, the geographic location and the size of the dog. A reasonable range would be $50-$200, depending upon the size of the dog and the disposal method chosen.

Most veterinarians are trained to place an IV catheter and flush it with saline solution or a sedative before injecting the euthanasia solution; this is to prevent unnecessary pain and suffering to the animal from a euthanasia solution injection that slips out of the vein during injection. The solution itself is a very thick liquid, so it takes some pressure to bolus 60mL in at one shot; if the solution is injected too slowly, the animal's death will be prolonged and more painful.

This will vary depending upon where you live at (the coasts in the United States tend to be more expensive than the Midwest or Great Plains), the size of your cat (a 2# cat takes less drugs to euthanize than a 15# cat) and the method used to euthanize.

Most veterinarians will place an IV catheter and secure it in place to ensure the euthanasia solution goes into the veins where it will put your cat down quickly and painlessly.

Overall, I would say between $30 and $50 is a reasonable amount, as of August 2012, for a normal sized cat that is not aggressive or feral.

It differs from office to office. My vet's usual fee is $25.00 . He did not charge me anything for the 2 times we've had to have this done because he was their doctor for 12 years each dog. And he is the vet for our 5 dogs at home now.

It can cost 150 dollars to 200 dollars depending on what you choose to do with the remains. Each vet is different so call around to find out exact prices.

It depends upon the veterinarian. The smaller the dog, the lesser the cost, because a smaller dosage of meds are used.

Your best option is to take your cat to your veterinarian and be honest immediately about exactly how much money you can afford to spend on your cat.
